I don't feel my surgeon was experienced in my type of breasts. I'm only a month and 2 wks out, but I'm unhappy about everything. I don't feel I was fully informed about having any under breast even AFTER a BA. He told me a BA would be enough and I spent my life savings on it practically, I don't know what else to do. What else should I have gotten done? I know I'm early out, but I can already tell based on ppl's pics I'm getting double bubble, and I went under muscle L (421cc) R(457cc)
Answer: I can't stand my breasts!
Relax. There are two problems, and you can solve them both, your breasts, and your reaction to them.
The breasts may need further surgery down the line, but they're yours to show or hide as needed. Be proud of your body, you have the only one ever made like it. Always be yourself... those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind. You learned a very important lesson: Do your research, know who is who, and price should be the least important criteria upon which you select a surgeon.

Answer: Tuberous breasts? Far more important than the technique is the skill and experience of your plastic surgeon. Choose your surgeon rather than the technique and let them explain why one technique may be better than another. See the below link on some suggestions on finding the most qualified Plastic Surgeon for a Breast Augmentation. Always insist on a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Double Bubble After Breast Augmentation
I am sorry you are going through this, but there is an answer to your problems. If, in fact, you had tuberous breasts pre-operatively, then this is not an unusual situation. The problem with tuberous breasts is that they have a very narrow base to their breasts which makes them look like a tuber (potato). If the implant is placed below the inframammary fold, then you will always get a double bubble. If the implant was based at the inframammary fold, then your nipple would come out too low on the breast mound. Tuberous breasts, at times, turn downward, and unless a lift is done at the same time, they get what is known as the "Snoopy Nose Deformity".
Depending on the position of the implant, you may need what is known as a capsulopexy where the pocket for the implant is lifted. When a tuberous breast is on top of the muscle and the implant below, there is no ability for this tight constricted base to splay out over the implant, giving a more natural appearance. If you plastic surgeon told you that a tuberous breast can be corrected with just an implant, then I highly recommend you seek a second opinion from a Board Certified plastic surgeon in your town, experienced in the circumareolar or Benelli mastopexy as well as the dual plane mastopexy.

Answer: Expectations after breast implants
It's important to voice your concerns to your plastic surgeon. Wait several months for all of the swelling to go down before making any final decisions about whether or not you like your breasts. If you need a revision, you may want to go to another plastic surgeon.

Answer: Tuberous breast surgery
As, many others have indicated - it is very difficult to give you an opinion without photos or an examination. That being said, you are very early after surgery and ther is no doubt that changes will occur during the healing process. Tuberous breasts are very hard to correct and there are many variables involved in the surgery and the healing process. Your situation is likely very different from others on the internet and you risk getting a lot of bad advice. Your doctor has your best interests in mind and it is a good idea to stay in close follow up with him / her during this healing process. Best of luck!
